  • Personal identity verification process and system
    Patent number: 7519828
    Abstract: A personal identity verification process and system adopts an error correcting output code (ECOC) classifier approach. Image data representing an input facial images is processed to generate a first (ECOC) classifier output vector and image data representing a class of different training images of the face of an individual are processed to generate a set of second ECOC classifier output vectors. Authenticity of the input facial image against the class of training images is evaluated by measuring distance between the first ECOC classifier output vector and the set of second ECOC classifier output vectors using a first order Minkowski metric.
    Type: Grant
